The Ten Funniest Name Goofs
July 20, 2016 Names are tough - there are just so many weird ones out there - so I tend to cut bakers a lot of slack when it comes to misspelling them.
But I'm pretty sure these birthday kids weren't so understanding:
I'm guessing something about this cake is going to rub little Chase the wrong way:
Ooh. BURN.
;)
Clap your hands if you believe Tink's gonna be ticked.
Now this is just cruel:
;)
And written on a cookie cake, too! Poor Cubby.
This remains one of my all-time favorite name wrecks:
;)
"Look, Stetson! It's almost like you're part of the family!"
Of all the times to mix up your "u"s and "a"s...
;)
Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!
This is what we call a Freudian piping slip:
;)
It was a bittersweet parting.
Of course, not every name goof results in an insult. Some people even come out ahead:
;)
Way, WAY ahead.
It's doubly unfortunate that these polka dots look a lot more "Turdi" than "Trudi":
What a way to go.
Let's hope Violet doesn't live up to her new nick name.
This "cookie bouquet" was for a baby shower. I'll let you spot the problem:
;)
"Well, I SHOULD HOPE SO."

Omg how do these people have jobs?!
I once worked on a play with a guy named Christopher who insisted on being called Christ. He was exactly as much fun to be around as you would expect.
What's a Cake Wreck? It is nor Violent, nor Gay
Nor Chafe, nor Booby, nor any other name
Belonging to a man. Oh! be there other names?
What's in a name? That which we call a cake
By any other name would be as wrecked

I can just see it now; The Church of the Happy Red Velvet 21 Christ.
What the heck are Pooh and Tigger doing?
Alex, Chase and Ben, what are they, triplets? Is that why they have to share one cake, or are their folks cheap?
"Violent and Sloan"... Is that the partner firm to Wolfram and Hart?
@Jules, it's just a classic post-pounce pose.
Personally, I don't think "Tink" is much better.
This is an OCD person's nightmare - do you list the kids A, B, C in alphabetical order or do you go with ACB like these parents opted for so the oldest kid is in the middle and the candles are symmetric?
Sadly, the "Way to Go, Stetson" cake could have been worse.
Client: I want it to say "Way to Go, Stetson". That's S like Sam, T like Tom, E like Edward, T like Tom, S like Sam, O like Oscar, N like Nancy.
Baker: Ma'am, you're going to need a bigger cake to get all of that on there.
(You see where this is going, or you haven't been reading Cake Wrecks long enough.)
@SuBee....you owe me a new keyboard and monitor. I should not have tried to swallow my diet coke while reading your comment. Will I ever learn? Nah. Brilliant. Oh and probably need a new desk chair here at my office too, cuz I nearly peed my pants when I saw the authors name. Bravo my friend. I have to go wipe off my monitor now, it was worth it!
Oy, "Chafe". And the rest of the cake looked so good!
Violent and Sloan sound like a good name for a new TV cop show.
Jules - One word: "Yffing".
Maybe the bakers were eating a MIlkyway? You know - no regerts!
The 2006 Stepson..,what happened to the 2005th one?
As for the three name cake, I suppose they are triplets--no parent could be that cheap.
@BADKarma - You are awesome. That is all. :D
I'm just astonished that "Stetson", "Cubby" and "Tink" are supposedly real names.
"Tits" - Booby Singer.
As for that second one, it was clearly done by a baker whose name is Steven With A PH. "Hello, yeph, thiph iph Phteven the baker...okay, you want the cake for Alex, Chaphe, and Ben, I can do that...
And that third one, are we sure it's not just a cake for the King in the Wizard of Id?
It is quite possible - likely, even - that Alex, Chase and Ben are triplets. When sonograms are done, the infants are often referred to as Baby A, Baby B, etc. I've seen a lot of parents just keep those initials when the children are born.
I don't even understand having a birthday party for a child under three, so sharing a cake is no big deal. When they are older, they each deserve their own cake.
Jen, one of the Cakes on here " the Chubby" one, is for the daughter of an old college friend of mine. She reposted it because she found it funny as well!
BOOOOOHAHAHAHA!!! I love y'all so much! I can't go to sleep at night without Cake Wrecks! Thanks for making my day, every day :-D
We once ordered a cake for Tadpole.
It said "tadtole" when we got it.
The Bitchie cake is the most hilarious for me:) Though they all are so funny. I couldn't help laughing!!! I've seen the cakes with something like "Tommy is 42" or "Lizzie is 55":) It's really ridiculous.
Hugs,
Margaret
These are great! I particularly like Happy Birthday "Chubby." Way to tell someone they need to go on a diet - while serving them cake!
Three kids cake may not be triplets. Alex has 1 candle, "Chafe" has 5, and Ben has 3. As for those calling the parents "cheap," I can see myself doing this. I have three kids almost exactly these ages. Two of them will need to share a birthday party (that's how it is with Thanksgiving/Christmas babies) and we have no extra money. Getting two bakery-made cakes would be an extravagance we wouldn't be able to do - not if they want presents! I thought the way they decorated the cake for three kids with very different tastes was neat. :)
OOPS! On closer inspection Alex and Ben both have 3 candles. Maybe they really are twins? :)
I have a fat dog named Cubby that's always being called Chubby so that cookie cake really hits home.
"Cakespeare".
That's my new favourite, SuBee!
I think "Sunday Sweets" should be re-christened "Cake - Sphere".
Well I am still happy to see they have yet to get my name on these things lol. Wondering how I am so lucky but I should just hope I stay that way lol.
